Intro

(VERSE 1)

Her parents never took the young girl to church

 Never spoke of his name, never read her his words

Two non-believers walking lost in this world

 Took their baby with them what a sad little girl

(Verse 2)

Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs

 Never wanted to play, or give kisses and hugs

She'd watch the TV and sit there on that couch

 While her mom fell asleep and her daddy went out

(Chorus 1)

 And the drinking and the fighting

Just got worse every night

 Behind their couch she'd be hiding

Oh what a sad little life

(Verse 3)

And like it always does the bad just got worse

 With every slap and every and curse

Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night

 Used a gun on her mom & then took his life

(Chorus 2)

 And some people from the city

took the girl far away

 to a new mom and a new dad

Kisses and hugs every day

First day of Sunday school the teacher walked in

 And a small little girl stared at a picture of him

She said I know that man up there on that cross

 I don't know his name but I know he got off

( Chorus 3 )

 Cos he was there in my old house

And held me close to his side

 As I hid there behind our couch

The night that my parents died
